Hi. My sound stopped working on Chrome and Firefox. Would someone assist me in getting it going. At first it was a hardware issue that was resolved by downgrading the kernel. But now.... I don't know. I didn't know before either but someone told me how to resolve it.

I think I've narrowed it down to the sound doesn't work on chrome or firefox. The 'test speakers' in sound preferences produces the test sounds. Let's start a new thread as it is now making noise.

I don't know why that line is there. It was put there by the maintainer. Anyways. what do you mean by the 'click the sound tray icon setting'?

doesn't work with firefox either (I checked the DRM thingy)

using chrome

thanks guys. I got the sound working. But not with youtube.

okay I just test the speakers and they work. Yipee. Thanks for the help. Do I need to do anything to get this kernel to load automatically upon reboot?

how do I get into Grub?

thanks for the help buddy.

Go ahead and change the settings to the unplugged options. Done Does aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav produce sound? No Does sudo alsa force-reload fix the plugged/unplugged state? No. What does sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* and dmesg | grep -C1 -E 'ALSA|HDA|HDMI|snd[_-]|sound|hda.codec|hda....

I installed pavucontrol and the HDMI card says it is unplugged.

I submitted a bug report and a gentleman told me to install the latest kernel. here is what he said: Probably a vga_switchroot problem. Please test the latest mainline kernel: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.2-rc4/ to which I responded that doing so was beyond the scope of my abili...

so which kerneldo I install? I tried version 5.0.0..... but it didn't work. It still says it is disabled.

update manager? you mean software manager or synaptic?

well.... I don't think I upgrade the kernel. did it do it itself? ~$ dmesg [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.15.0-51-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-059) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #55-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 14:27:21 UTC 2019 (Ubuntu 4.15.0-51.55-generic 4.15.18) I guess it did!
